Apparently humor isn't allowed here so I guess I just have to be dead serious.
Oooops, Freudian slip with the dead serious thing, sorry. I promise it won't happen again. Or if it does it's over my dead body. Arrrghhh, sorry, did it again. Really didn't mean it.
Is Oklahoma City Bison okay? Or is the politically correct name Buffalo. Afterall, I don't want to upset an endangered spieces.
Is Oklahoma City Bandits okay? Afterall the term bandit was usually referencing a Mexican criminal or bandito. That wouldn't anger Mexican Americans will it? I especially wouldn't want to anger any real Mexicans living illegally here in the US considering they probably are the definition of a bandito.
I now think Stampede probably wouldn't work either. After all a Stampede is a group of angered or frightened cattle running as one unit. I wouldn't want to anger one particular cow or bull by insinuating that they are scared or frightened.
How about the Oklahoma City Mr. Monks? We can call them the OCD's. Yeah, the mental illness political police would have a field day with that, huh?
How about Oklahoma Donkeys. We can call them the Okie Dokies for short. Come on, that's a little funny and it didn't offend anyone except some high strung, tight ass, errr, donkey, right. Maybe not.
I guess there's more to naming a team than meets the eye.
Maybe they should just stick with naming the team after a color instead
The Oklahoma City Reds? .....No?
The Oklahoma City Blacks? .....No, again?
The Oklahoma City Browns? .....Why do you keep saying no?
The Oklahoma City Yellows? .....Not bad, but, no, huh?
How about if I kinda add a letter to the end of a color to change it just a little like,
The Oklahoma City Pinkos? .....That's not gonna work.
The Oklahoma City Whiteys? .....Okay calm down, calm down.
I guess colors are out of the question, too.
Well I guess I give up. It seems I just am not creative enough to come up with a name that isn't going to make people angry so I'll just leave it to those that are better at these things than I am.
Seems to me this might have been easier to just to have kept calling them the Seattle SuperSonics. The illiteration was musical and worked real well.
